Beyond The Mat has ensured that I will never forget that again. The premise of the Documentary is a simple one: Director Barry Blaustein would follow 3 Wrestlers, filming them both in & out of the ring. From this tried-&-true format comes an amazing glimpse into the inner workings of the Wrestling Biz. Blausteien follows Legendary Grappler Terry Funk, who is about to have his retirement match (He's since "retired" about 5 more times), Mick Foley, who at the time of filming was WWF Champion, and about to engage in one of the most sadistic matches in WWF History, his infamous "I Quit" match against The Rock at The Royal Rumble, and the troubled "Jake "The Snake" Roberts, whose toughest matches these days are his battles with drugs & his own demons. There are some truly unforgettable moments in this film for Wrestling fans. Who would have thought that Legendary Wildman Terry Funk was such a nice, soft-spoken family man? Who will ever forget Mick Foley's Wife and Children screaming in horror as he takes 11 brutal chairshots to his unprotected head fron The Rock? What long-time fan could not be horrified and saddened to see how far Jake Roberts has fallen...? There are also some great "Time Machine" moments, such as the brief glimpse of the pre-silicon Stephanie McMahon, and Stone Cold Steve Austin uttering waht may have been his first "What?". We also see the first WWF appearance of the unfortunate Droz, crippled in the ring shortly after the filming ended. The Director's Cut includes some new footage of Vince McMahon, surely one of the most loathsome "Human Beings", and I use that term loosely, on Earth. (I've never bought into the controversy about McMahon trying to keep Beyond The Mat from being released; as evidenced by Legendary Wrestler Bret "Hitman" Hart's struggles to liberate footage and stills of his WWF career from McMahon in recent years, McMahon rules WWF footage with an iron fist. Beyond The Mat uses extensive clips from the WWF archives, and McMahon would never have allowed that if he didn't approve of the film. There is also no mention whatsoever of WCW, The WWF's big rival at the time, another reason I believe that McMahon had more to do with the film than he wants you to believe.) The film is presented in full-frame, which drives me NUTS, but that's the only way it's available on DVD, so I guess it's better than nothing. Aside from Commentary tracks, there's not much in the way of extras. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Better then I thought *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2022* Wasn’t sure if id like this movie but seeing as I’ve watched three times .
